Art in Dublin?

...something I had for some reason completely neglected so far. It seems it always takes me a while to get my life organised in a new place. Only then do I venture out in search of new hobbies and entertainment (and I have to admit I still strongly connect art with Finland).
Yesterday I went to the Modern Art Museum in Dublin. I was lucky to have an expert with me, who was able to find the place even without consulting my map;).
I really liked the place and the exhibitions were surprisingly good. My favourite was a painting called "Moon Blossom" by Janaína Tschäpe. I love the different layers of colours and shapes in her paintings. They almost feel alive and let you discover more and more the longer you look at them.

I would definitely recommend the place to anyone on a rainy (or even a sunny) Saturday afternoon.
